Hey there bloggers =)

Another random update blog for you here! SO, yesterday I received my British visa, which means that I am officially done with applying and receiving and stressing over visas! Right now I’m in Bahrain, seeing family and basically just relaxing with friends. Tomorrow, the games begin. I literally cannot wait to go out there and have some legitimate fun, being in Qatar over the summer causes loneliness and loss of sanity- I’m honestly surprised that I have any remnants of sanity left over after this summer.

Anyway, there is a genuine motive for my blog today; a friend of mine asked me if I could turn into any mythical creature, excluding a vampire- he knows me too well- what would I choose? Well I chose to turn into a mermaid. The reason I chose this is because mermaids are able to meander and roam the world through the seas, live underwater and be part of something magical and fantastical. Of course there is the whole fact about mermaids being beautiful serene creatures, who have attributes of sirens. Although this may seem somewhat egocentric and self-centered, I still believe that we all have a child hidden inside us that wants to come out and play, and I guess mini-me misses swimming or something, which is why I’m actually mentioning this on here.

So my faithful followers, I shall end this totally pointless post by asking you a couple of questions, and feel free to email me with your answers or simply post an answer on the blog. Here we go:


If you could turn into any mythical creature what would it be?


What topics would you like to have me write?


And finally:


What is your own personal philosophy on life?


If you have your own questions that you would like answered, feel free to email me or post it on here. Also, I will either reply to you through an email, or post an answer on the blog itself.


Much love ♥

Hey there bloggers and creepers =)

My apologies as I’ve been away a while, I’ve just been really busy with getting things together for my move. So here’s a little update on my life! In case you haven’t been paying attention, or it just slipped your mind; I’m moving to British Columbia, Canada in a couple of weeks in order to begin my undergraduate degree in Political Science! =) AND I have some excellent news! I finally got my passport returned to me in the mail, WITH the Canadian visa! Yaaay! (Applause) Anyway today I went and applied for a British visa as well, but that only takes a day to complete so it’s no biggie at all. Although I did spend around three hours and a half waiting for my turn to come… We weren’t allowed to use our phones… And it was boiling and humid…. Which basically means the death of me. I guess it was worth it in the end though, since I’ll be officially done with visa related paperwork by tomorrow! (Second applause!) This being said, I’m also receiving a scholarship from the government here, and we have pretty much finished all the paperwork, but they haven’t called me in yet to sign the contract, and that needs to happen ASAP as I’m planning to go to Bahrain at the end of this week! (Fingers crossed!)

Anyway this isn’t one of my legitimate blog posts as you can see, it’s just an update. BUT don’t freak out on me, I’m working on something else for your minds to feast on right now! =)

Mad Ramblings ♥

I realize I don’t always end up writing here consecutively throughout the days, but I shall try my best. This is the second time I’m writing here today, although, technically it’s not really “today” anymore since it is past 12:00 midnight…And really I’m only writing because I’m extremely bored. There’s no specific topic to this post just plain ramblings.

I hope I don’t bore you too much…

For the past few months or so I’ve been going jogging at the public park close to where I live. A couple of weeks ago I saw a small black fur ball rolling, or should I say frolicking around in the grass, so I stopped to see what it was. The ebony kitten with almost translucent gold and emerald eyes was utterly and entirely adorable. There was no sign of a mama cat but I assumed that she was looking for some rations for her family. So I continued my regular exercise and didn’t think of the little feline again. That is, until I started seeing the kitten approximately every day in different sections of the park. Still with no mother.

That night I inquired my own mother if there was a chance that we could possibly keep her. Her reply was that if I could catch her, and if she didn’t look disease ridden, then maybe, MAYBE, we could keep her.

I continued my habitual routine of jogging at night, until I saw her again. I had stopped for a rest and sat down at a bench to catch my breath, I didn’t even notice her sitting there coiled up on the other side. I went to stroke her and she purred, I sat there with her for a while but it was getting late, so I attempted to pick her up but she leapt off of the bench and ran away... I kept seeing her regularly for three uninterrupted weeks after that night. Until she finally let me pick her up.

She is now a part of the family, and her name is Ophelia. She is beautiful and very well cared for as well as loved. It’s a sad story though. I have to leave her soon… I know my family will take care of her but I will miss her terribly… I suppose I can see her when I come back, but that won’t be for months. I hope I like British Columbia, Canada, and for what it’s worth I am tremendously eager.

Oh, on another note there are no updates on the visa status yet… I’m still waiting. I am truly anticipating a response from them soon; I’m getting gravely impatient and irritated… Another thing I’m getting frustrated about is the fact that so many tests have to be taken for college! So much blood has been drawn from my veins in the past two weeks it’s insane! I won’t go into that right now… However you will, in all probability, be reading a rant about the inept and inefficient hospital systems here at some point.

Much love

You Can't Sit With Us☮♥

Today I went to a really squalid looking clinic to get my medical forms sorted for my visa. I don’t understand why the embassy had to choose that specific clinic for people to go to. It was really revolting.

One thing I noticed, which irritated me, was the fact that even in that shitty little clinic, discrimination was noticeable. You had to be blind not to be aware of it… I walked in, NOT wearing the traditional Abaya and Sheila that the natives of this country are intended to wear- just FYI I seldom ever wear it as I don’t believe in it- then again that’s just my outlook on the case. Anyway, I walked in and the nurse at the reception treated me like everyone else, until she found out my nationality. That was when she advised me to wait my turn, in an explicit room. The thing is, she was really sketchy about it so I just asked her why I couldn’t wait in the other room, in which a few seconds beforehand, I saw an Indian lady walk in to. She mumbled something unintelligible and told me I could wait wherever I wanted to. That it was my choice. So I chose to follow the Indian woman into the same room the nurse had disjointedly told me not to sit in. To my surprise I found that the clinic was separating the patients on the basis of nationality. The minority of the country were placed in a room with old paint peeling off of the walls, and orange, plastic, garden chairs. While the other room contained; bulky, indigo, leather seats which were placed around a brightly lit, air conditioned waiting area.

I do not understand the need to discriminate against people, and then segregate them! We are all born equal… Or so they say… I wish to live in a world were favoritism and prejudice of any kind, did not exist. Where people are treated equally and seen and appreciated for who they are and not judged and condemned simply because of their race, gender, sexual orientation… Or even age. This being said, I’m not that naïve. I know that we live in a sickening, irrevocable, sadistic and corrupted world; a place where hatred is the norm, where blackmail is the only way to achieve things. Why do we choose to live like this? Why is it that people always seem to jump to war? - The alleged immediate conclusion to any problem. Why do we fight, and hate, and try to annihilate other people…

There is always another way. You just have to maintain your search for it.


Safe to say, I decided to wait in the room with the peeling walls.
